Suggestion for Replying with comments to a specific committ
It would be great if people could start changing the subject when
replying with comments to a given committs, this would allow others to
better identify what's going on and possible jump and help on the
discussion.
Just my 2c
Thanks

It's more like, considering the two subjects below, witch one would be
more informative and would probably catch the attention of the owner
of the change (and others that might be interested in the area) ?
svn commit: r635808 -
/incubator/tuscany/java/sca/samples/store/src/main/java/services/ShoppingCartImpl.java
Updates to Store sample, was: svn commit: r635808 -

As a recent "offender" I can probably see where Luciano is going with this.
I do think though it depends what sort of comment is being made. If we are
making comments specifically about the committed change then I'm not sure a
new title adds much. For example, the generic "I have some questions about
the change you just made" is not really helpful and the the more specific
"The changes you made relating to blah and blah don't look right to me"
could, I see, help to arrange email more easily but is in danger of turning
into a long title by repeating the commit comment or, indeed, the contents
of the post.
If however the post is somewhat tangential then I completely agree that a
new title or, as Ant suggests, a new mail referencing the commit, is
entirely appropriate.

I think it depends on the type of comment being made, some things keeping
the subject is useful - i.e. a reply - others it probably isn't and either
forwarding the commit mail to the dev list with a new subject or else just
having a new email that contains a link to the commit email in the archives
might be better.
